About the Image(s)

Nikon Z7 24mm f/13 1/320
February 2025 3:20pm Utah, USA
My goal of this photo was to capture the reflection of the mountain in this smaller, still area of the lake. I made global adjustments and made the temperature a little warmer as I wanted to keep this nice blue sky. I cropped the image to 2x4. I photographed this mountain in this one area multiple times this evening. I felt this image was more successful than the others, even with high sun. Unfortunately with how the clouds stuck around the peak it didn’t allow for light to cast onto the mountain. I didn’t take a long exposure until shortly after this shot when more clouds came in and the lenticular cloud effect was occurring over the mountain but their were too many clouds then so it became a bit of a grey and white blur with no light on the landscape. Later that day around sunset time the lack of sunlight on everything resulted in the image being quite flat. I wish a took a long exposure at this moment to soften the cloud shapes but I’m happy the reflection came out successfully. Any post processing suggestions to make this photo pop a little bit more, especially for the mountain?
